Ultimate Success for the Ultimate Move!
H-TWO-O and FAS pushes the sporting spirit in Singapore
It started off as just an idea to vote for the favourite FAS (Football Association of Singapore) players in late October 2006. Now, the H-TWO-O team has pushed ‘The Ultimate Move’ campaign to exceptional heights both in creativity and recognition to the public. The successful campaign concluded with an unforgettable finale party at Club DXO where Balestier defender, Ratna Suffian Ishak was crowned amidst hoards of screaming fans and satisfied partners.

The campaign had made its debut among the esteemed guests 2 months ago during the FAS Awards Night 2006 held last October, Associate Professor, Mr. Ho Peng Kee, President of FAS and Senior Minister of State (Law & Home Affairs) was impressed by the stunning moves captured in the art direction of the creative team. “Well done!”, Mr Ho had heartily commented during the evening of warm celebrations.

Strong support was evident as Mr Teo Ser Luck, Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) attended ‘The Ultimate Move’ Finale Party as the Guest of Honour. During an interview, Mr Teo commented that “if it becomes a regular event, it will be good as it would possibly bring in more spectators to the S.League.” H-TWO-O is indeed pleased and honored to receive such encouraging feedback from the council and ministries.

The moves made by our hot bods had also created a stir in the local sports scene. Contest forms from fans of all ages had poured in since the island-wide launch through the Minimart channels and above-the-line exposures. “Much credit for the response really goes to the hard work of the players,” commented George Heng, Creative Group Head of AdWOW!. “Handpicked by H-TWO-O, these shining bods were the perfect models to exude the physique and sporting spirit we wanted to create. Thanks to the player’s determination during the making, the creative idea managed to come alive.”

“We want to emphasis that H-TWO-O is the best formula for both the active body and sporting mind,” commented Ms Lye Yin, Marketing Manager for YEO’S. “With the brand featured prominently in the media plus the event coverage on Channel NewsAsia, H-TWO-O’s brand awareness has been greatly heightened.”

The team further revealed that plans of the next ‘Ultimate’ event is in the works. Thanks to the encouraging response from the excited partners and fans, look out for more ultimate adventures with H-TWO-O in the months ahead!

The Ultimate Spirit soars with H-TWO-O
 
As one by one, our able-bodied champions are revealed, we can’t help but notice the increasing volume of shrieks and cheers by the moment. Strong indeed is the spirit of comradeship and sportsmanship, stirred up by ‘The Ultimate Move’ campaign. This, for the organisers, is indeed a great move to take the excitement off the stadium to the stage.

For the fans, it was a great opportunity to support their heroes in a light-hearted fashion. Like many others, Mhd Zulhelany, 17, a fan of Geylang United, was there to support their team and players. He was there to build up the team spirit as he has been a member of the Eagles for the past two years.

Even though not all present were athletes or sportsmen, the spirit of unity is strong as fans from all walks of life turned up in full force. Among the winners who voted for the finalist was a young boy (not older than 10) who was ushered upstage with his dad to receive his H-TWO-O hamper.

One particular fan stood out from the crowd. Despite being restricted to her wheelchair, it did not stop her from traveling all the way to support her favourite players. Her trip was well worth the effort as the six Ultimate Move hunks huddled around to autograph and even took many snapshots with her.

Perhaps the best way to sum up the ultimate spirit of it all was from Ms May Ngiam, VP Marketing for YEO’S, “We must not be afraid to fail, but always learn from it.” From the creation to the delivery of this campaign, such was the driving force that brought out the ultimate spirit in everyone to overcome the odds.

Just as such spirit lead the YEO'S marketing team to success, this ultimate spirit has fueled the Lion’s victory over the Thailand team in the Asean Football Cup. Indeed, we may soon see our fans and Lions bring their roar to the international fields!
